A few updates from the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center

Congratulations are in order for Wilbur Lam, M.D. He has just been selected for membership in the American Society for Clinical Investigation, a national honor society for physician scientists. This is a distinctive honor as it is a highly competitive selection process to receive membership into this society.

Lubing Gu, Ph.D., and Muxiang Zhou, M.D., recently had their leukemia research highlighted in Cancer Cell. Doctors Gu and Zhou have developed novel inhibitors to block the interaction between the mouse double minute 2 homolog (MDM2) protein and X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP), two critical proteins in cancer progression.

The Aflac Cancer Center opened a first-in-pediatrics clinical trial of a new brain tumor drug, Abemaciclib, for patients with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma.

The Aflac Cancer Center has been named to the prestigious Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium due to the increasing national presence of our brain tumor program under the leadership of Tobey MacDonald, MD. This national cooperative group is highly selective and limited to only 10 institutions. The group specializes in improving the treatment of brain tumors through novel trials for children with brain cancer.
